Do you have OCD?

[:....:mike:....:]

I always have to clear my cookies on the computer, empty my trashcan on my computer and clean my computer desk before and after I use it.

[Niall!]

I check like 5 times if I've set my alarm

That's it :S

LMAO, most of your "OCD" stuff are about computers. :S that's not OCD it's CO:S computer obsession.

You haven't experienced a day of my life, so you wouldn't know, those are my obsessions and compulsions, I haven't stated their severity or duration or anything else for that matter other than what they are. My friends never even noticed I suffered from OCD till I started to sort out the library books in order of height just last year during the exam period.

I don't need to experience a day in your life to experience severe OCD, I've gone through it all myself. For you to sit there and to describe your OCD as 'not bad' is kind of stupid. You have an abnormal routine in your life, and if you can't face up to that then yes - you do need help. You don't need to tell people the duration of these tasks, you've described what you obsess over and anybody of sense can see that it's not something a person of perfect sanity would do.

You've described what I said as my saying, yes I have all this, but it doesn't bother me, I said its not all that bad, comparing it to how it would sound to someone reading it. Also, you've experienced your OCD, but not mine, everyone suffers from it differently. Also, how do you think the severity is measured? by the amount of symptoms? No, by the distress, duration, control and limitation of the symptom as defined by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale.

Yes I have an abnormal routine, but my consultant told me when I was younger that my condition doesn't affect my life in a serious way, so it wasn't necessary for me to take treatment because my condition would improve as I adapt through life. This is exactly whats happening, I'm creating personal limitations for which I can control my obsessions and compulsions until I feel ready to step away from them. My consultant suggested I do this and I think he has more experience with treating it than a person who lives god knows where whos telling me to seek help I already have had.

tbh i think half of the "OCDs" here are actually just habits..

i fail to see how "And I always like to have my stuff in the right places ecept for like random things that I dump anywhere I feel like." is OCD. if it was OCD then you'd HAVE to put them in the EXACT places you EXACTLY want and if that doesnt happen then something happens, eg a panic attack

Finally, a sane person
